> I think Wellbutrin helps with apathy, I think the abilify does too. Corect me on def of apathy; dull emotions? Zyprexa does this=apathy.
good... maybe my doc will consider going to 5 meds ... ug...
yes having dull emotions really sucks... don't reacting to interesting/funny/exciting things in the environment
> I had that problem when I was on Zyprexa, no sexual interest or loss of libido, had interestees.yep.... i was disappointed to get off zyprexa nad find my interests were still gone :(
> I think other illnesses might posibly benifit from a smallar dose of abilify. Sort of howi'm sure they would.... i mean i get
a) stable mood (bipolar)
b) increased energy and decreased need for sleep
c) possible increased motivationand no side effects (at 3.75mg)
>zyprexa has a 2.5mg, which would be the equivelent of 3mg abilify??? I don't understand why abilify
starts so high up in doses, 10mg, when 30 is the max?!cuz they want to make sure people take higher dosages, report success with the drug, and it gets a good rep .... then once it gets a good rep, that it actually WORKS, then they can work on having it WORK AND reduce side effects! just a guess
